So far I like the new universe, except that I replaced a waiter. Thought I was done with this after college.

I am, however, the only waiter with a certified Grimoire though, so that's a plus. Good for winning bar bets.

	Haha! Fair enough, at least you know what most of the parts are called, right? And what parts stick to what other parts? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The thingy, the sonnabitch and the dipstick. If it's moving and shouldn't, use duct tape. If it should, WD40. Only never tell that to the customers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So apparently it really isn't that different than book repair, only there we've got 'the board things', 'the stringy stuff' and 'that sticky stuff' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hell at 4:45am, probably it's all whatthehells, and I'll try to mount the coffeemaker's guts into the belt drive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've actually learned not to do book repair anytime after 3am. Unless of course I've been unconscious the whole previous day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahh, I can go ~~seven~~ a few days without sleep. But things take shape that I don't remember what or why I did it. Then it's 'press the button and run' time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yep, been there. Had a book once that was just for a project, nothing too important, but I mis-measured the pages no less than three times, so it looked like they were trying to escape from the cover in a couple places. Somehow I convinced the professor I'd done it on purpose, that it was an art piece. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wish that answer worked. "WHY IS MY GREMLIN PERCOLATING PETROL?!" "It's art." My projects, yeah, we are still at the does-it-work stage, aesthetics are a pipe dream. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well in that case you just have to pass it off as a defense mechanism, which is something that doesn't work so well for book repair. Well, unless it's a particularly nasty grimoire or something that needs the defense to make sure people don't open it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Think there was a wizard movie about that. The creature book was like a freaking piranha or terrier until you stroked it's spine. Then it mellowed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Monster Book of Monsters. There are a few books that are actually like that, old old magic. (Reply to this) (Parent)
